<p>
GtkArrow should be used to draw simple arrows that need to point in
one of the four cardinal directions (up, down, left, or right).  The
style of the arrow can be one of shadow in, shadow out, etched in, or
etched out.  Note that these directions and style types may be
ammended in versions of Gtk to come.
</p>
<p>
GtkArrow will fill any space alloted to it, but since it is inherited
from <a class="link" href="GtkMisc.html" title="GtkMisc"><span class="type">GtkMisc</span></a>, it can be padded and/or aligned, to fill exactly the
space the programmer desires.
</p>
<p>
Arrows are created with a call to <a class="link" href="GtkArrow.html#gtk-arrow-new" title="gtk_arrow_new ()"><code class="function">gtk_arrow_new()</code></a>.  The direction or
style of an arrow can be changed after creation by using <a class="link" href="GtkArrow.html#gtk-arrow-set" title="gtk_arrow_set ()"><code class="function">gtk_arrow_set()</code></a>.
